All about music - and Alamo

At last Saturday's 26th annual Music and Wine Festival, Rotary president Jim Schuppert announced that Alisa Corstorphine, editor of Alamo Today, was named 2008 Alamo Citizen of the Year.

"Alisa continues to play a vital role in our community," Schuppert said. "She not only is a consistent and strong supporter of Alamo's civic, professional and educational organizations but she keeps our citizens informed about local issues, events and people."

Corstorphine, a native of Los Altos, and her husband Evan moved to Alamo in 1997 and have three children, Alex, 20; Kevin, 18; and Amy, 15. In high school, Alisa raised funds to revive the defunct newspaper and became its editor.

The Music and Wine Festival raises money for music programs in the schools.
